I Want A Wife

A wife is classified as a man’s spouse, partner or a woman. A woman can be classified as an adult female human being, female servant, subordinate, personal attendant, or domestic employee. The view of a woman has been misconstrued before the term feminist was engendered. Judy Brady uses the description of a wife’s role in her essay I Want a Wife to expose what a man subliminally believes a wife’s role is. Although the man may argue against the idea, women’s expectations, opportunities, and positions have changed in a positive but minute way over the years due to the lack of acknowledgment of the issue on the mans behalf.
In Judy Brady’s essay she eradicates the meaning of a wife from the man’s perspective. Brady uses personal reflection in
When I had my interview for the job that I work at now there was a mix of boys and girls. In my interview sat a young man by the name of Timothy. Timothy was very smart and seemed like he knew the answer to every question thrown at us. Our interview was over and he ended up getting the job. He wasn’t the only boy who got the job though.

We were competitive because we had a lot to prove, not only to our manager who was a woman and our owner who was a man, but also to ourselves. It is now predicted that any male who comes to work at Menchies is not expected to do as well as a female when it comes to managing the store and sells. Although my personal experience displays growth in the workplace, this is just one exception out of the billions that need change.

The man would be the one who lasts longer; he would be the employee who receives the higher sales as well as the higher salary. He would also be the employee who receives more hours as a result of a safety issue, due to the fact that it is unsafe for a girl to be
